Famous quotes containing the word literature:

    The literature of the inner life is very largely a record of struggle with the inordinate passions of the social self.
    Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    The literature of women’s lives is a tradition of escapees, women who have lived to tell the tale.

    I make a virtue of my suffering
    From nearly everything that goes on round me.
    In other words, I know wherever I am,
    Being the creature of literature I am,
    I shall not lack for pain to keep me awake.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
